[IBC] did a demo Tues. night
I did a demo and talk on Tuesday night at our local library as a part of
their adult evening program. There were about 20 people there. Several had some bonsai already, or had had a mallsai at one time or another. One man in particular has some Japanese Maples and junipers, but hasn't gone to the next level of buying material from a bonsai nursery. Hopefully I can help him get past that. There were some interested in a study group, so we'll be having one soon, probably on a monthly basis. It was a very interested group, with a lot of good questions and comments. I elicited a collective gasp when cutting off a major branch in the process of styling a cascade procumbens juniper. So, the result was what I was hoping for, building some interest in bonsai in our area. There are a couple of other people in the area already interested, so we should have a good start. One of the people who came was a teenager, about 13 or so, with his mother. He's raring to go. All in all, a very worthwhile effort. I'll post our progress as time goes on.
